“It’s basically like an extra point for Arsenal”

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are making the Premier League title race tense.
Arsenal is currently at the top of the Premier League rankings. The North London club have won 71 points after 31 matches. Liverpool is second but only behind on goal difference. Manchester City, the team that has won the championship for the past three seasons, is third with 70 points.

Micah Richards has experience winning championships on the final day of the season. The BBC Sport commentator was a member of the Man City squad that won the Premier League title in the 2011/2012 season.

At that time, City scored 2 goals in injury time to defeat Queens Park Rangers and ranked ahead of Manchester United on goal difference. The Citizens have become champions of England. Richards noted that Arsenal are facing a similar scenario

Mikel Arteta’s side have a goal difference of 51. Liverpool have a goal difference of 42, while Man City’s is 40. Richards said of Arsenal on The Rest is Football podcast: “Now they are simply an excellent team, Arsenal. They can change, they can defend when they need to, attack when they need to, great mentality.”

“When we won the league against Man City, we won the league on goal difference and looking at their goal difference at the moment, it’s possible. Basically , it’s like an extra point for Arsenal.”
